Windshield Care During a Snowstorm

It is best to err on the side of caution when there is a snowstorm and choose to stay off the roads to avoid road accidents and damages to the windshield of the car.

When there is an extreme weather condition like a snowstorm, the windshield of a car could become covered in ice. So, how does one properly defrost it?

Is Pouring Hot Water the Solution?

According to an article on USAToday.com, there is one user on Facebook who posted that pouring hot water on a frozen windshield will quickly defrost it. The user’s post had been shared 12,00 times.

In the article, however, it is advised not to put hot water on a windshield that is covered in sleet and ice. Doing it could only crack or shatter the glass instead of solving the problem, according to the article. It is because the rapid change in temperature  can make the windshield crack or shatter.

The solution to the problem, according to the article, is to use a properly operating heater that is advised by the American Automobile Association (AAA).

Also, removing snow from a windshield must be done with tools specifically designed for the task. The tools include a long-handled broom or a snow rake. Another way to remove snow is to create a solution with two-thirds alcohol and one-third water.
